Piggy Muscular System First Steps: Part I – Skinning the Piggy Part II – Final Skinning & Muscle Identification

Muscles to Find, Photograph & KNOW!!! Sternocleidomastoid Pectoralis Major & Minor (these are distinctly different in the pig) Latissimus Dorsi External Oblique Rectus Abdominus Masseter Biceps Femoris Triceps Intercostals Gastrocnemius Achilles Tendon Biceps Brachii (you’ll have to cut away the pectoralis major to see this) Gluteal Muscles (we’ll lump the G. Maximus & G. Minimus together)

Example of a Well-Dissected Rear-End Gluteal Muscles Tensor Fascae Biceps Femoris Gastrocnemius Achilles' Tendon Tibialis Anterior (Skin to here)

Human Analogs to Piggy Hind Leg Muscles Posterior Aspect Lateral Aspect Biceps Femoris (part of the “hamstrings” group) Tensor Fasciae

Head & Neck Muscles Masseter Sternocleidomastoid

Shoulder Muscles Trapezius Deltoid Triceps

Shoulder Muscles Trapezius (looks like it wraps around front of deltoid) Deltoid Latissimus Dorsi Triceps

Chest Biceps Pectoralis Major Pectoralis Minor (head)

(the Pectoralis Major needs to be reflected back to see this muscle) Forelimb Biceps (the Pectoralis Major needs to be reflected back to see this muscle)
